Plant and Utilities Electrician Dublin 12

Cpl are working with our client partner who are a world leader in the bulk chemical and adhesive industry.

They now have a job vacancy for an experienced Maintenance Electrician (Plant and Utilities) for their site in Dublin 12.

This position is for a trade qualified electrician to provide a range of support across a bulk chemical manufacturing site.

The site itself is quite similar in both process, design, layout and day to day operations of Quarries, Oil Rigs, Chemical Manufacturing plant, Heavy Plant and heavy industrial manufacturing (Concrete or Brick production etc…)

It is not a high speed and high volume “regulated light industrial environment” and it is very much suited to an electrician who relishes working in a heavy plant and equipment environment.

If you have worked in the likes of mining, oil rigs, cement production, heavy plant or heavy equipment production, quarries etc…then this might be the environment that suits you.

Some of the day-to-day duties of the Plant Electrician -

• You will carry out planned and reactive electrical maintenance across a range of production systems in a Bulk chemical plant production environment.
• Diagnose and repair faults in automation and control systems, ensuring compliance with machinery directive and ATEX and Chemical Manufacturing Safety standards.
• Contribute to the safe system of work (SSW) processes, ensuring safety remains a top priority.
• Th site where this role is based is classified as an upper Tier Safety Grade Bulk Chemical production facility and it’s governed by some of the most stringent international safety standards and regulations.
• The Electrician will provide technical support for bulk plant infrastructure, including motors, drives, control panels, and safety systems across a heavy plant environment.
• Record and communicate issue resolutions clearly and effectively.
• You will collaborate closely with the engineering and production teams to maintain a high standard of operational efficiency and safety.

What makes you a good fit for the role

• The ideal candidate for this role is someone who enjoys working on a large heavy plant and while the role is for an electrician, the ability to have an element of practical hands-on mechanical skills are a definite advantage.
• You must hold a recognised electrical trade qualification and have solid experience working in chemical, pharmaceutical, or other high-hazard industrial environments.
• Strong background in automation, fault finding, and the maintenance of control and safety systems and ideally in bulk or heavy plant environments.
• Familiarity with ATEX environments or other similar hazardous regulated plant environments and the handling of hazardous substances is a significant advantage.
• You bring a proactive, safety-first approach to your work and are confident managing task-related risk.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset—you work well as part of a technical team.

Qualifications and Experience

•           Trade qualified Electrical, Mechanical or Automation qualification with time served.

•           3-5 years’ experience in a heavy plant manufacturing or related environment.

Overtime will be required from time to time to assist with production or preventative / reactive maintenance.

Please note that due to the specific requirement here, you MUST have a recognised electrical qualification and to be considered, you must be eligible for full time employment in Ireland.
